well, we had a grand old time yesterday dakota red kindly offered his home for our mini-fest, and what started off as a little party for searcher (our uk guest of honor) became somewhat more than that .

in alphabetical order, our group included: bikerchic, blueyes, bruce and dorian baker, buster and wifey, carmel, dakota red, goshawk, lost diamond, onacruse, princess and steve (and steve's mom and a family friend), searcher, seven006, songmistress, and veniceit.. carmel brought some delicious salmon for the barbie, and we even got searcher to have a taste.

we overlooked the fact that brits prefer to eat fish in the form of fish and chips searcher and songmistress--when we brought out the cake, everything was fine until somebody started to sing happy birthday...the words just sorta stuck in our throats, and we looked around at each other like a bunch of dubbies lolololol.

COOKBOOK First Draft is off to a publisher

i just sent the first draft of the cookbook to an e-publisher to see if they will accept it.. late submissions will still be accepted and can still be added to the book before turning it into a pdf file.. but the first draft gives them an opportunity to take a look at it and see if it meets their standards.

and it gives me a chance to make any improvements they might suggest.. so cross your fingers.

lol.

You could next do a low fat cookbook and call it "New Lite"

Pirates! Johnny Depp

by asleif_dufansdottir in

i really liked it (i don't ask a lot in a movie...escapist entertainment's what i'm after).

i thought johnny depp rocked as the rather swishy, funny pirate captain.

orlando bloom is turning into quite the attractive young man...after that last scene, i can see him in musketeer garb.. looking forward to the league of extraordinary gentlemen (love sean connery)...heard it's not great, but like i said, escapist entertainment).

Well I know I sure don't trust him ehehhehee. And I just want everyone to know I'm innocent, no matter what the pictures might show hehehe.

I really had a wonderful time, it was so great to connect with everyone from the home area and meet so many knew friends. Wish I'd known about you all 3 years ago ahhaha but better late then never, Hopefully we'll see some of you again real soon.

Thanks Craig for organizing it and thanks Dakota for throwing the party!!!

Do you remember your last meeting?

last meeting i ever went to was a memorial, 6 years ago.

i remember it well, and it wasn't even my own hall.

it was so boring.

The circuit Ass. in May 2000 was the last thing we attended as a family. My dad was actually the assembly overseer at the time hehehe. We sat there and knew we were going to start 'fading' over the next several months and my parents were going to move to FL and make their break. EVERY single demonstration/experience were lies. and even my friends and family were like 'ya right, whatever' because we knew all the people it was all so fake. The very next day we were turned in to the CO by my sis and friend, and never went to another meeting till Aug.

Dad was df'd June Sixth, we found out a few days later. Mom and I had our first JC meeting the last day of July. They said they'd have to df us but we had a week to appeal. For some reason we felt impelled to go to the meeting the next night just mom and I. Aug 1st 2000. Everyone came up to us and hugged us (I kept forgetting dad was df'd hehehe) and they were very loving, even the elders on our committee huged us and said it was good to see us there.

The meeting was SOOOOO boring OMG. It was the ministry school and one of those nights that were so well planned out. they were started a new book of the bible so there for the first 3 talks were all on the EXACT same material of the first few chapters. Sounded like a damn parrot up there, Mom and I got the giggles, and so did the sister sitting next to us, I mean it was so redundant. I looked at mom and was like OMG were they always this bad?? It was the funniest thing, we looked around and everyone was zoned out. The the Service meeting was highlights from the Disctrict Convention and no one had a clue about anything. It was supposed to be an 'audience participation' part but no one would raise their hands, several tried to remember what the drama was about but no one was sure. I was dying. I could have answered most of the questions without even going because I'd been keeping up with h20 and the reviews there, it was sooo pathetic. I thought to myself we're getting kicked out because we don't beilve this stuff, but the rest here are fine, and they don't even know the stuff we no longer belive, this is rediculas. Finally they came to a question. 'How many got baptised?' and EVERYONE raised their hand it was apparenlty the most important part of the entire weekend. How sad and pathetic. I talked to a friend of mine on the phone that night after the meeting, and all he did was tell me what he wore to the DC didn't talk about anything else there, not the new realeases or anything.

Never went to another meeting again, I'm glad I went that time and saw them for what they really were, I mean I knew they were boring, but it was totally different. Mom wanted to walk up to the young brother that always sat slouched like he'd rather be anywhere else but here, and she wanted to say' your the only one here who has a brain' hahhaha!!!!

heheh I actually saw both those shows tonight. Was rather dissapointed in 'the League of Extrodinary Gentleman' it was an interesting concept though.

Loved Pirates, Johnny Depp was dead on in this part as soon as he was on the screen you started to chuckle. They movie was a riot I didn't expect so much humor, but it was a great swashbuckling film, and that girl was great too she looked like a younge Brooke Sheilds to me.

At times it seemed Depp had been coached by Patsy from Absolutly Fabulas ehhehe just the way he'd say things and his mannerisms. He was great and sooo bendy heheh too funny.

Ohhh and anyone that's been on the ride at Disney would pick up on a lot that was put into the movie from the ride, it was really cute.
